    Vanilla Brave blocks ads and doesn’t show the blocker. Ublock & Better YouTube will cause it to trigger. Tampermonkey script prevents the blocker from appearing after disabling/enabling Ublock for a video or two.

    Fuck YouTube and Google. They make enough money selling my data.

    Edit: Okay I get it guys, Brave bad

      Ublock doesn’t trigger it. Better YouTube does. Remove it and you’re golden.

      Brave is commercial grade malware. How anyone can willingly install that on their system and then complain about google selling data is beyond me. At this point, Firefox is without alternatives.

          Where to start…

          1. They once deployed their own cryptocurrency and used your computer to mine without consent,
          2. They then manipulated all links to Amazon and some other shops to be affiliate links with themselves as beneficiary, earning commissions without user consent (and in violation of Amazon’s terms),
          3. They install a VPN service without user consent,
          4. They sell user data (anonymized) to train AI farms

          The article is not neutral in its phrasing, but the content is correct. You’ll find other sources if you look around.

          Just brainwashed Mozilla shills spreading FUD. Nothing unusual.

        Ublock was triggering mine, odd that it doesn’t trigger for others
